What happens to the agent process? A session.log file should be  
created under $HOME/.nx/ somewhere. Investigate there.

Urgh? The above looks strange. As shown by you below, you definitely  
gave -S on the nxproxy cmdline. This is strange. Any idea why that  
happens? Could you try a Linux-Linux server-client test setup first?  
Same observations there?

Make sure that no firewall rules obstruct your way!
